Food establishment in New Zealand

“Delicious fried rice with authentic Sri Lankan flavour. The food was fresh, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Highly recommend Grand Ceylon for a great dining experience.”

“Almost best burgers but can claim best hit chips, but honestly cheap and good feed”

“We’ve been to this restaurant twice now, and each time has been an amazing experience. The food is absolutely top-notch and definitely among the best Italian cuisine we’ve had. The Limone and focaccia were real standouts. The ambience is cozy, and the staff are so warm and welcoming. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Italian food. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!”

“I just finished going up mount Eden and was hungry. Found this place nearby. It's a fairly small place. Seats about 25. Nice, subtle decor. Got the steamed duck #38, with coconut rice. I was hoping for thai tea but they had run out. It took about a half hour to be served. I'm going to assume it was made to order, it was that good. Nicely presented in a shaped dish. I recommend Basil Thai, make reservations!”

“Best chorizo tacos in NZ. A must try, especially because they make their tortillas in house.”

“Came to Cookes for a nice girls night dinner and it was incredible, every mouthful was so flavourful, highly recommend the scallop entree! Rachara and Arber were absolutely wonderful!”

“I'm so glad we tried Hayami. The food was excellent along with the service. The food must have arrived at the table in less than 10mins after ordering. Reasonably priced good quality wine too.. The decor inside gave a real Japanese feel, which just added to everything. It was one of the best Japanese I've had in Auckland.”

“Sarah and her staff are very welcoming, personable and super friendly and helpful. They get to know their customers needs which is rare in some Cafes. The Chefs cook great tasting meals. The food is always delicious! Coffee, 5-Stars”

“Cannot fault anything!! Food was amazing , beautiful! Big call , but the Pork ribs and Moroccan Lamb chops and the best I've eaten! If your passing through Orewa , this place is a must visit ✨️”

“I’ve eaten all over the world, at places ranging from down to earth and fancy. This is easily one of my favorites—there is a perfect blend of restaurant food and a home cooked meal vibe, all in a reasonable price. We eat here regularly and it is the highlight of the work week. Highly recommended to everyone!”

“Had the tanto sushi lunch that happens once a month for around $60+ pp. The experience was very authentic and was one of the best authentic sushi that i've had in NZ. Most of nz sushi is Americanised and sweet and although taste good I still prefer the just fish with rice. All the dish here had a lot of natural taste to it but taste very delicious. The sushi ingredients was fresh and I especially love the sweet potato tempura. The tempura reminds me of a place in Japan where they focused on the item being fried to bring out its naturalness and the batter was just a light batter that doesn't overwhelm whats inside. The sweet potato tempura was the best and had really nice texture. Overall very enjoyed the meal and experience and highly recommend for people to treat themselves and come here.”

“We ordered the Hot Nash burger, southern style and nashville hot boneless chicken and the beef birria loaded fries. Their nashville hot flavour is very spicy but has so much flavour. The southern style chicken is probably their best flavour with the perfect balance of spice and seasoning. Their chicken and chips are exceptionally crunchy and freshly made. As for the burger and loaded fries they were even better. Definitely order online prior to arrival as the wait time can be a bit long but worth it.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Vevo Cafe in Titirangi is the perfect spot for a sunny day adventure or a family outing. Start your day with a walk or let the kids enjoy the nearby park. Plan your visit to Vevo for some fresh air and delicious food. Explore Titirangi Beach, swing by the playground, and hike up to the lookout for stunning views. If the rain sets in, you can always enjoy your treats from the comfort of your car. The service at Vevo is immaculate, even on a busy Sunday morning. The staff are friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasure. The coffee here is top-notch, consistently amazing and perfect for an outdoor adventure. I grabbed a takeaway and enjoyed a rib-eye bap with mozzarella cheese and the best caramel slice on the planet, paired with a latte. Remember to be mindful of the environment—never leave rubbish behind and respect the local wildlife. You might even have the pleasure of a Tui whistling nearby as you sip your coffee. Vevo Cafe is a gem in Titirangi, combining great food, excellent service, and a beautiful setting. Don't miss it!”

“Delicious Neapolitan pizza with the perfect crust and fresh toppings, paired with crispy, flavorful arancini. A cozy spot with warm service and a true taste of Italy”

“For my husband and I, as NZ Born South East Asians, it wasnt just a meal, it was like experiencing our heritage and identity thru food. My husband is a huge chatty foodie, plus he's only in recent years started to embrace his South East asian identity... He enjoyed speaking with Carlo about food, history and flavours. We could tell Carlo is extremely passionate about what he does and we found it very inspiring. My self too, I'm not much of a foodie, but I can attest every dish we had that night felt like familiarity... it was a really eye opening experience to 2 people who grew up in NZ without that connection to our parents' countries. I know for some it was just a restaurant, but for us, the ingredients, history and passion touched us personally. We will be sure to come back often and bring friends and family to experience Bar Magda and Carlo's wonderful food and hospitality again!”

“Excellent food Very clean and tidy Plenty of parking on the street and side street Friendly and great service Will come back again”

“they do amazing platters/ share box, very good value, very tasty too! great spot to do takeaway and sit and eat at the beach across the road! highly recommend!”

“What a place - wine , craft, yum food. Should you be into cocktails, you’re in heaven. They’ve even got a good variation on espresso martini. Everything is a unique creation. Come in.”

“Excellent dumpling place to visit in Albany! This is by far better than the majority of places i’ve visited. In terms of food, they give a really generous portion with good filling and really good soup. The smaller buns and dumplings are also really really good compared to many other competitors. Perhaps one of the best places! The service is quite cool, uses a scan QR code to see menu type of service. Food is served at moderate speeds, not too slow or fast. Atmosphere is also quite nice, not too noisy and plenty of seats.”

“Simya Korean Restaurant offers a wide variety of authentic Korean dishes, making it a great place to explore different flavors. Every dish we tried was well-prepared and full of taste, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were attentive and friendly, which made the dining experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy Korean cuisine in Auckland.”

“The food here taste amazing. We had the chicken 275 meal and the steak and eggs meals, both tasted really good and are really big portions. Price is really good too, Chicken 275 meal in picture is $21 at the moment while the steak meal is about $28. Definitely would get again”

“Absolutely my lunchtime reward for the week.. drove from the other side of Auckland to the Bridge especially. Love our local takeaways, always super friendly, good humans to help you, happy to add an extra roastie or swap a corn cob, food is 100% every time, hot, tasty & smells delicious.. best roast potatoes anywhere..mmm”

“We ordered deep-fried spring rolls, bánh xèo, and pho. We enjoyed everything. Especially, the soup of the pho was great. We are happy to visit again❤️”

“Food brilliant, service exceptional, servings generous! Especially the pork belly. And when Mud made an appearance, topped off a wonderful birthday celebration! Thank you”

“The best pizza hut in town!!!!! Kuljinder is the best guy and makes you feel soooooo welcome at his restaurant. If its not the taste of food, it’s his kindness and genuineness that brings people into his store.”

“Perfect and our fave go-to for sushi, beautiful food here, and by far the most affordable sushi in Auckland. The staff here are so inviting and respectful to their customers, always smiling saying hello and thank you. They also have the best prices in auckland 5 star always”

“Yummo! Ok so I love it when Indian fooderies use the thigh or leg meat for butter chicken instead of the breast (which seems dry even when coated in sauce). Thank you Spice Junction! Juicy chicken pieces, great portion size, awesome ratio of chicken to sauce. Naan was on point and the Chicken 65 was satisfyingly spicy! Will definitely Uber order again!”

“The food is amazing. Easily one of the best local Thai eateries. Have been before and will go back again.”

“Family enjoyed a yummy lunch here. Really nice atmosphere. Good service. Can't go wrong really. Will go back again”

“First time trying a new Indian take out after significant price rises with usual restaurant made us explore other options. Chicken vindaloo, lamb korma and cheesy naan. All were delicious! Husband is a chef with a particular penchant for Indian food, and a tendency to be critical, but he loved it all and said this will definitely be our new regular takeout ☺️”
